I have a M 10 at home at the moment, it is a very accurate rifle, a virtue that they were known for. I've owned a number of different Ross rifles of different marks. An old member of my Gun Club used one for just that when he was on convoy in WWII. In WWII they were issued to the Merchant Navy for use to shoot sea mines. So each time it was roughly used to open it the locking lug became more and more distorted. So adding to the problems of the Ross.Īpparently the problem that the version carried by the Canadian Army was that it had a each locking lug blog was a single block. 303 Mk VII, relaxed the size tolerances on that ammunition. The problem of it in the trenches in WWI was exacerbated by the fact that Britain had, in order to increase delivery of. 303 Ross as "a target arm masquerading as a military weapon". The British NRA in about 1910 or so described the. Or in fact as a properly functioning SMLE. There actually was a resistance as you pulled the bolt back so it wasn't as smooth as, say, a Winchester 94 or Marlin 94. 280" and came 3rd in Historical Classic Rifle Running Deer at Bisley back in the 1990s or so. I actually owned a Ross, the 1905 Model, in. And as was proved and paid in blood at San Juan Hill in Cuba. A more useless military arm.as compared with what was being used by other nations at that same time.I cannot imagine. Thanks for posting your video review.~Muir I have a sweet spot in my heart for Krags and the 30-40 cartridge. I told him that is was possible to put 150 grain bullets out to 2500 fps with judicious powder choice and that this would flatten out his trajectories quite a bit.īut I am rambling. Needless to say my friend is happy as a clam. At 100 old eyes came into play and we shot between 1.5 and 2 inches. We took it to the range one afternoon and at 50 yards it shot about half inch. I gave him 2 boxes of early 60's vintage (?) Winchester 220 grain Silver tip loads asking only that he return the boxes for me to display. The bore looked horrible but I brushed it out and then used some JB Bore Paste to get the remaining crud out of the edges of the lands. The Inspector's cartouche was still plainly visible in the wood and the dirt and rust sprinkles literally wiped off. HE had it shipped home and since I seem to be the resident Krag Guy in my area, he brought it to me for inspection. A good friend who had admired my Krags, was on a trip and found a dirty, rust sprinkled rifle on the shelf at a gun shop. Two weeks ago I was presented a rifle identical to yours, including the replacement front sight blade. Neidner) None of my Krags have seen a jacketed bullet while in my possession. One I purchased with a custom 30-40 barrel in place and the other had a ruined bore and so I rebarreled it to 25 Krag, one of the first wildcats using the Krag action. I could easily tease MOA with my young, perfect eyes. Loaded over Unique powder it was eye-sight capable. He kept his rifle spotlessly clean and it was deadly accurate with these bullets sized to. His was purchased from the US government in the Great Depression for $2 (if I'm recalling correctly) and with it he got 40 rounds of 'full patch' 30 US Army ammunition. My first foray intocast bullet shooting at the tender age of 14 was using a Krag Jorgensen rifle and the Lyman 311-299 gas check bullet, both owned by the grounds keeper at our local sportsman club. I currently own three KJ's but have owned a dozen more in the past.
